Passover: 18 Minutes in Time
JCrafts Georgia, a Chabad affiliate under the direction of Rabbi Levi Mentz, a recent arrival from Los Angeles, made the rounds with its Model Matzah Bakery before Passover to share the Exodus story and demonstrate the art and science of making matzah within the 18-minute halachic time limit. Rabbi Mentz said the beauty of JCrafts is that it works with people from all streams of Judaism. It also makes presentations that have nothing to do with Moses, Pharaoh and the bread of affliction.
